  • Preliminary Paper Outline May 18, 2009 Professor John H. Currie
    THE MCLACHLIN COURT AND INTERNATIONAL LAW Preliminary Paper Outline1 May 18, 2009 Professor John H. Currie Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa Introduction In its first decade, the McLachlin Court has continued to make frequent and even increased reference to international law and other international sources in its judgments (Charter and non-Charter alike). Indeed in some instances international law has proved pivotal to the outcome of the case under consideration. This has sent a clear signal to lower courts that international law will often be a relevant and perhaps even crucial consideration in resolving domestic legal issues, a development widely considered desirable by international lawyers as emblematic of Canada’s commitment to the global rule of law. Recognizing the important implications of these developments, in recent years the McLachlin Court has also made conscious efforts to address explicitly the nature of the relationship between international and Canadian law – efforts seldom found in the Court’s earlier jurisprudence. Preliminary assessments of those efforts appear to reveal an emerging “convergence” of the rules governing the relationship between various sources of international and domestic law, perhaps most notably apparent in the form of the now nearly ubiquitous “presumption of conformity” of domestic law with international law. 1 Preliminary draft for discussion purposes only, not for quotation or attribution. Please check against delivery. - 1 - Notwithstanding these significant developments, there does however continue to be uncertainty as to the precise circumstances in which international law should or must be taken into account in the domestic legal context; precisely how international law is to be used in interpreting or applying domestic law; and indeed whether some or all of international law is, also, domestic law.

It was the opportunity for him to experience Chinese culture – the food, the landscape, the people and their dialects, even the smells in the air. It was also a reunion with my parents, time for me to take care of them so that my sister could have a break. When China started to lock down the city of Wuhan in January 2020, I worried about my family and friends in China, but I thought it would pass in a few months, like SARS some years ago. Unfortunately, I still cannot enter China with my Canadian passport. I immigrated to Canada almost 14 years ago and became a Canadian citizen in 2015. It has been a good decision, and I have successfully built my new life.

While ‘traditional’ television is still a significant method of consumption, long-form video content streamed through a connected device is a regular part of Canadian viewing patterns. In some cases, viewing through a connected device is the only way Canadians are consuming content. Whether ad supported (YouTube, CityTvNow, Tubi), paid subscription (Netflix, Disney+, Sportsnet NOW etc.) or a hybrid of both, streaming is a growing method of content consumption in Canada. With enforced isolation and restrictions brought on by the pandemic, streaming consumption has been accelerated. Canadians are spending more time and money with streaming services. From our research, we estimate that Canadians spent $2.7B on streaming services in 2020.1 Is this a one time aberration, or a sign of things to come?
